Is there really no intbetween "12v12 no respawn deathmatch" and "get obliterated by 12man premade with 3 respawns"? Like a random 12v12 with respawns and not faction bound? I dont really like committing to play premade obliteration for a week with only one faction, but i cant really stomach random deathmatch so i stick to 1week clans / 1 week sphere at the moment...

You also have to be within the group weight limit, which changes based on how many members are in the group.

So what's a good heavy or medium mech for missile spam? I have my light laser trashbin, my assault ballistic crab so now I need something with missiles.

Menturion is still pretty boss (Centurion with fast engine, 3 SRM6, designed for skirmishing and maximum torso twisting) Unless you meant LRM spam, in which case please don't. Unless you're looking to handicap yourself

The Mad Dog would be a fine heavy for wrecking peoples poo poo with missiles. And a Stormcrow for medium, I suppose.

If you're into IS mediums I'd check out centurion/shadow hawks/griffins. Really fond of griffins myself, having those jets lets you be extra sneaky on certain maps. Or just popping up to dump SRMs into some dudes face.

If you want something cheap, discretely fast and durable and with a nice punch, Cent-A is still really solid. I'm definitely not saying this because I own 4 Centurions out of 8 Mechs. (Cent-A with a ST275, 3SRM6s and 2ML is really good thoug. Or if you have the loyalty one, 3SRM6s with Artemis and a shitton of ammo; you can even run that with Single Heatsinks in a pinch).

I found the MLs a bit of a trap at first - think of your main weapon as the SRMs, with the ML just for when you need more kill right now or when you run out of rocket.

sebmojo posted:I found the MLs a bit of a trap at first - think of your main weapon as the SRMs, with the ML just for when you need more kill right now or when you run out of rocket. Absolutely. At the moment, my favourite Cent is the loyalty one, as I'm running only SRM6s+A on it and 5 tons of ammo. You can't popsicle, but you'll never run out of ammo; and Artemis is surprisingly effective, according to my stats (IE: I've ran it for less time than regular SRM6s and I've done more damage with it. Also coring Ravens in 2 salvos never gets old).

So...is this like a raffle? Or do you get a prize for every "ticket" you have? Cause otherwise, there is no indication of the possible chance to get anything (IE: is having 25 tickets granting you 25 prizes? Is having 25 ticket granting you a 0.000001% chance of getting something?)

I think it's still locked behind the MC paywall but the Griffin 2N medium mech is a superb 55 ton SRM splatboat. It also has ECM for added fun.

DancingShade posted:I think it's still locked behind the MC paywall but the Griffin 2N medium mech is a superb 55 ton SRM splatboat. I'm intrigued. On paper, this looks like a Centurion with more missiles, JJ and ECM; and it comes with Double HS and Endo already! (Also FF, but w/e). What's the catch? Horrible hit boxes? Horrible Quirks? (Also, it has an MC price listed in the wiki, not sure if it's for selling purposes only). EDIT: ok, playing around for a little bit in smurfy this is the best Centurion lookalike I can cook up in a rush GRF-2N. On paper, it's a Cent-A with a better punch, ECM and 1 JJ for quick turns. Looks like it will run really hot, IE: use only the SRM6s unless you have to kill someone with lasers. Possible substitution: 2SPLs for the 2MLs.

Generally speaking, most prizes are c-bills or GXP, with MC and cosmetic items being respectively more rare. For the sake of comparison, I got the TBR-C(C) that was the last grand prize after like 37 matches last time they did this.

Oh that's nice then  Not really interested in the grand prize per se, as I already own the loyalty version of it, but hey, it's a mechbay and a few hundred thousands C-Bills.

Despite the terrible paint jobs, all 3 of those are solid IS robots with cbill bonuses. I understand wanting to bitch about  's failures and shortcomings in this bad-ish game, but complaining about those 3 taking up space is you just complaining to hear yourself complain in your own voice.

I have an CN9-AH but it doesn't have any medium lasers on it and I really don't want to strip my CN9-A and put all the parts on the AH for the C-bill bonus because those lasers really add up when they're in the centre torso and you never die agh.

The hill climbing thing was such a stupid loving decision. It makes playing an Assault on Bog mind numbingly painful, not to mention there is poo poo on other maps that your 12 meter tall loving robot should be able to step over and climb but cant because of dumb gameplay decisions.

This is the map that made me mention it even. My Atlas was slaughtered while the rest of my team left me behind trying to climb a hill to move to the square where the magical talking pubbie told everyone to go. I tried to turn and fight, but trying to go up backwards was even worse.
